My latest music and video creation. Shot with three Sony cameras (on tripods) in my home studio. I had to have static cameras as I do all of the filming, playing (except drums) and video and audio editing. This is the sixth track from my upcoming album. The video production was edited in Vegas 19 with the graphics created in After Effects.
The total video track count for all instruments came to about 18. The video was edited to the final master audio track.
Hope you enjoy!
@PeterH really nice! Questions coming....
1. What mics used on the drums? Oh, and his ending was great!
2. What did you use to mix everything?
3. What mixing equipment did you use?
4. Cameras?
How long did it take you to edit things? Multicam?
Again, thanks for sharing?

Thanks for your comments Reyfox!
1. Mics used were an AKG D112 on the kick, SM57s on the snare and toms, Behringer B1s on the hi hat and overheads (I like the B1s for their high end), Rode NT1 for the ride and a Rode NT2a for the room.
2. The song was mixed in Cakewalk Sonar.
3. I'm not sure what you mean here. My audio interface is a MOTU 16A, all guitars were recorded direct using the Kemper Rack Profiler. Various VST soft synths for keyboards. All in all a total of roughly 56 tracks in the DAW.
4. My cameras were Sony HXR NX 30s.
5. The actual edit didn't take that long once all the video tracks were synced up to the original master soundtrack. I'd guess about 4 -5 hours. I load all the video tracks on the timeline, delete all the associated audio tracks and then just cut to the various different camera angles. It actually goes quite quickly.
I hope I've explained it clearly. If there's anything else just let me know.
I always end up doing a "making of" documentary once the album is completed.
If you're interested here's the "making of" video of my previous album.
@PeterH thanks for the video link!
Much appreciate the equipment listing too! That interface is rather pricey!
What speakers are you using?
I use Yamaha HS50s.
When I purchased the MOTU there wasn't a lot of choice for multiple input/output audio interfaces.
It's been pretty solid and their drivers have been really stable.
my most recent production about dry wall builders in Luxembourg using the ancient techniques.
A couple of years ago I started creating what I called the "Calm" series of music and videos. I got sidetracked and am just now getting around to my third one It may make you sleepy, but hopefully make you calm. Please enjoy!
My fav from my latest concert project... audio mix done with vp22. Then 4-camera multicam all with vp23 which went so smoothly & quickly, I felt obliged to give it a credit... 
My latest Cloud Looney Land Adventure.

My Personal 2025 Closing Video, for Instagram posting.
My 2025 experience is up and down... between helping managing a big project for half of a year... and need of full rest due to injury... and recovering process (survival mode), and busy of event video projects, and then...time to have personal reflection time, as a full-learning experience.
Time to let go of 'not-so-good' past experience...as a learning... appreciate the daily winnings... and keep going.
